One thing I noticed about racism that really bothers me is how there seems to be a double standard. And I don't mean reverse racism (which is a problem too, but I think it's relatively minor). The problem I have with racism is it's treated differently when it targets a group with a strong political influence versus a group with a weak one.

John Stone as a fat guy who decided he didn't want to be fat anymore. So he started eating healthy and working out like mad.

That's right, people pay him money and he makes change out of the cash register. And he does it correctly on his own. Did I mention he was two years old? Oh, I guess I did.

This article is about how there seems to be a lack of Muslim outrage to the terrorist acts. You would think that Muslims would want to distance themselves from those who claim to be doing God's/Allah's work by killing people. Since you know, all this killing IS technically against the religion. But as it is, most of the Muslim outrage has been from the United States Muslim population.

Take one part Penny Arcade, an online comic mostly about gaming and mix in some Japanese kids not so skilled in english and you get, Penny Arcade Remix Project. Some of them are unintentionally hilarious, and if you love Engrish you might find this funny.

This is the website of a Japanese girl who likes to cosplay. For those of you who don't know what cosplay is... it's short for "costume play" and it's basically when people dress up as anime/manga, video game, movie, or book characters.
